"Mom is ever so grateful for what you did for her," Sabine said, when they were waiting for mains. "She makes no bones about it. She credits you with saving her life."
"Yeah, but so what. She would have done the same for me."
Sabine giggled. "That's exactly what mom said you would say."
Walker grinned. She likes me and wants to mother me I bet."
"Well try this. She told dad you are I are to have the guest suite. If we have guests they can have my old room. She also wants the boys out of the house so you don't feel crowded."
"I say yes to the guest suite with thanks but say no to the boys being thrown out of their home -- at least not until your dad builds houses for them. It's their home until that is done. Could you tell your mother my thoughts on that and the fact the value having the family about at breakfast and at dinner time."
"We you ought to win out there because dad doesn't want to toss out the boys."
"Good. Phone him tonight and tell him. Phone him now -- he'll be on his way to visit your mom."
Sabine went out to make the call. She returned and said dad said to thank you and added mom doesn't want to toss out the boys anyway. He made another proposal and I said yes and hope you agreed. He said he and mom would like to build a house for you and me."
"And you want me to agree to that?"
Sabine looked alarmed and said in a small voice, "Yes."
"Well that's okay then. You better not take me too much for granted."
"I suppose you have been thinking about a wedding?"
"Um it's not too early to think about that is it?"
"I don't think so. I left the army to start a family. The army had fraternity but is not my idea of family."
"Oh Walker, that is wonderful to hear. I only want a small wedding."
"My too. What about your mother?"
"She is not a great social person. Small would suit her. She'll give you anything you want by way of venue and trappings. Where and how would you like to be married?"
"You might not like this."
"Oh dear."
"I want the marriage service to take place about the place where I first met you, on the train heading to White Rock Junction."
"Oh darling, how novel and how dreamingly romantic. We can have the railway company pull out all the seats in a carriage so everyone can crowd into the one carriage. I love it."
Walker smiled. "Well don't pull a gun on me to ensure I say the words "I do."

Mrmacjrover 5 years agoI enjoyed the premise and execution of this story. I do not know if you still monitor the comments on your stories or not. I have seen some other authors that appear to be the same as yours with a year listed in the name. Keep on writing
Aussie1951over 6 years agoMy word you were a busy little beaver between 2005 and 2009, so whats happened since? I don't know whether to leave a comment on this story or not..This being the first story I've read of yours my comment is no different from the others regarding spelling errors, editing. etc. But what surprises me the most is, I could quite understand if this was your first attempt at writing but bloody hell this was written in 2009 one of your last of many stories that you've written. I shudder to think what the quality of your first stories were and I'm certainly not going to find out that for sure. its a shame really because this storyline and your characters were in fact very good and a sequel would have been a must but alas since your last post was eight years ago I wont hold my breath. Disappointed really,after four years of writing I thought the quality of your writing would've and should've been better...Sorry, a very lucky 3 stars which could quite easily have been 5...

griz375almost 8 years agobut a few hundred words in it was obvious no one proofed or edited it. I thought . . . . Hey! I've got some time! I'll give it a little nudge here and there and see what EG thinks. Can't hurt right?
Sorry . . . I downloaded it, formatted and then stared to edit . . . no joy - way too scattered. Even the issues are haphazard, let alone the story.
I'd try to finish an edit but anything I can't do well, I don't do. Perhaps . . . . . no just carry on as you are. You seem happy in your space.
CIAO!!
BFN!!
fanfareabout 9 years agoMost spelling problems are caused by spellcheck and other word processing functions that automatically replace words.
These programs are homophone-phobic , cause the programmers who code them are required to be illiterate.
All too often, work being edited looses the original tones or quirks of the author. If you are too damn lazy to think about what you are reading (Context is King!), why do you even bother?
I discovered this phenomena of over-rated and incompetent editing many years ago. First in an (expensive!) Astronomical Atlas for myself. Then again when shopping for a geography atlas for my twelve year old grand-daughter for school.
How the fuck does anyone with a college education fuck up simple geography? God-dammit, the continents ain't moving that fast!
Serious blunders and errors of fact abounded in both books. Even on the same page, garbled information about the same item was different and contradictory!
And both books (publicly published, printed and distributed for sale), had several pages listing professional editors, their professional credentials and their professional awards. In excruciating detail.
Since that time, I have had a very low opinion of the publishing industry and the self-serving self-congratulations of these so -called editorial experts.
